loling at some of the comments. I will only compete if he agrees to running on street tires and allows video. If I lose it's to a worthy opponent, right If I win it's some funny chit. The guy is a customer. Own's a machine shop and looks like a body builder, he dwarfs me. I got $5 says he declines the challenge.
I talked to his tuner (Rick) who said he is bone stock but has ordered ARH and a new pulley. I guess if I have a chance it's before he gets on the dyno.
I saw this thread title w/o seeing who posted it & thought, OK who got smoked & / or is this a joke? Then, I read who posted it & thought, this guy hasn't been posting much lately, but this is gonna be good! And seeing it was you, I actually then said, he has a chance.

You're in for a good one, no matter what. So when is this actually gonna happen? I hope more than a few vid this, cause I wanna see some good vids.
If u don't get on vid, you're no longer an admin or mod. Heck, you're banned.

I'll contact IB myself.

In the meantime, ...food for thought. Good luck!
1st 2 links are just the numbers. You get the idea.

IIRC, the good stuff starts @:50 sec. Here's an idea of what you're up against.

And something a bit more than stock.

this is the street on skreet tires. zr1 stand no chance unless bill breaks his truck . 4wd on the street is pretty much untoucable by almost all 2wd cars/trucks .

when he sees you pull 5 legnths on him out of the hole his manhood will be destroyed and his default thought will be an excuse to try again or why its not fair.

bill is this a rhetorical question?

I have a Go Pro HD with mount we can set up in or out of the cab. The Go Pro is tight, got it when I hit the slopes with my brother.

Wait a minute. You want him to run on street tires but you are able to run him in 4 hi??? And this is fair... You get to run the bottle also??? Ahhh I say let him get tires and install his mods, you run drag radials all the way around and run spray then you'd have a good race. I mentioned the drag radials for you Bill because I know you can easily break traction even in 4hi I saw the videos of your last runs at sac. oh yeah bump up to a 100 shot also this would be a YouTube sensation, people pissed cause a truck kept up/beat a zr1.

"I almost had you!"
"you, almost had me?!..... You never even had your car!!"

My money is on Bill blowing up the 5.3 and his trans at the same time and the Z stalling the car on the launch

You will get him in the 1/4. I don't believe he will be able to drive even w/ launch control.

Motor trend ran an 11.2 in an '09 zr1. Usually people are a few tenths faster than the magazine times.

Its going to come down to traction and the driver mod. Looking forward to the vid.

You'd better hope he doesn't bring tires.
